Why would you think that?

After casually pulling out a white plastic chair and sitting down, Lin Yu crossed his arms and spoke to Bronya.

"I've always been very serious—he was born to 'save humanity,' right Axu?"

"Yes, Sir!"

After watching the man give Lin Yu a ridiculous military salute, Bronya felt that... happiness had come a little too suddenly.

I suspect Lin Yu is up to something...

The girl had this thought before, but she quickly dismissed it from her mind.

Lin Yu could easily kill Cocolia, who used a star core, so it's safe to say that if he wanted to become the Supreme Guardian of Belobog, he could even declare, "From today onwards, this planet is under my control," without any problem.

But from the moment he arrived on this planet, what he's been doing...

Even if the man in front of her was the culprit who caused her mother's death, Miss Bronya Rand would be quite certain that what Lin Yu was doing was basically a good thing.

She couldn't really tell what a person was thinking, but if someone kept doing good deeds without expecting anything in return, then from her perspective as someone who was generally a beneficiary, Lin Yu was an impeccable good person.

Rather than questioning Lin Yu's intentions, Bronya actually had another question.

"Mr. Lin Yu... why are you helping us so much?"

"Huh? Do you need a reason to help others?"

Looking at the girl's questioning eyes, Lin Yu smiled and replied.

"That seems to be true. If I had to give a reason, it would probably be that money can't buy my happiness."

"I feel good doing this—is that reason enough?"

"... Then you are a strangely kind person."

After saying that, Bronya realized that Lin Yu's figure was slowly fading away.

"Ah, although it's a bit strange for me to say that, I have to add something."

Looking at the girl who was momentarily lost in thought, Void Archive, who had changed his appearance countless times, said helplessly to the girl he would need to assist for the next period of time.

"The boss is serious. In the years after he defeated his powerful enemy, he did this kind of thing a lot."

"Besides, this isn't the first time I've been away on business. Although the problems here are serious, they are only 'serious'."

"With the technology we can provide, the next step will likely require..."

How long will it take?

"Ten years should be about right."

After giving a rough estimate, Void Archive added a comment.

"Of course, there are other major powers in this universe. If other major powers intervene and assist you, the time can be shortened a lot."

"But personally, I don't mind if you allow other major powers to intervene, at least not now, because..."

"Not everyone is like the boss, who has nothing better to do than do this kind of thing to please himself."

"If powerful forces in certain regions really encounter vulnerable groups, they can devour the planet without leaving a trace."

Upon hearing Void Archive's speech, Bronya instantly felt much more energetic.

The physical and mental fatigue vanished instantly because of the other person's reminder.

After all, she now knows that their planet, [Jarilo-VI], did indeed have interactions with other major powers in the past.

Now that the Star Core of Jarilo has been dealt with, other major powers that left because of the Star Core may return to Belobog for the same reason.

If she, as the Supreme Guardian, doesn't lead everyone here to unite and grow stronger, then when other powerful forces come to visit in the future...

The equal exchange between the two sides is based on the premise that the gap in strength is not too large.

If other powerful forces come and find that a single tour group of theirs can wipe out their entire force—who can guarantee that they won't have malicious intentions?

"I understand, Mr. Axu, please help me."

"Ah, okay, no problem."

Seeing Bronya suddenly become energetic and obviously anxious, Void Archive paused for a moment, feeling that something was off about the situation.

According to his boss, his boss had only been here for two or three days.

But the problem is...

—No, it's only been two or three days. How come this woman who just met the boss has suddenly become a traitor?

Could it be that there is actually a contagious disease called "dog curl disease" in this world, and the boss...

—Is it one of the pathogens?

PS: 4K, continuing today.

Trailblaze Chapter 30: Welt, having finally boarded the pirate ship.

Meanwhile, the Stellaron Hunters

Inside the Stellaron Hunters carriage, Welt Yang, who had just been teleported here with Void Archive, looked at the woman in front of him who had the same face as his student Murata Himeko and exuded an intellectual beauty. He felt a little... sentimental.

In his world, Murata Himeko, a genius girl who should have had a bright future in academia, joined Murata Himeko and became a Schicksal in order to find out the truth about her father's death because he killed her Valkyrie.

Now, with Himeko appearing before him who 'looks like a researcher and is actually on the research path,' Welt felt that his eyes had truly been opened.

As for why he appeared in this world with Void Archive, it's mainly because they've basically finished what they needed to do there, and Welt felt like he had nothing to do.

Over the past seven years, Lin Yu somehow acquired a black technology called the [Dimensional Connection System]. Based on this technology and the accompanying blueprints, they bound the Thousand Worlds Annihilation and the Dimensional Connection System together.

In this scenario, as long as they have the coordinates of the corresponding world, they can consume enough energy to travel directly between different worlds.

Of course, traveling between worlds requires a massive amount of energy.

However, ever since Lin Yu True Fusion the Cocoon of Finality, his own energy level has been expanding.

The seemingly enormous amount of energy required for the round trip was, in fact, negligible for Lin Yu himself.

So as long as Welt wants to go home, he can return to his family and friends at any time through Lin Yu. The difficulty is probably no different from taking the high-speed rail in Shenzhou.

"Um, Mr. Yang... Mr. Welt."

Looking at this acquaintance of Lin Yu, Xing, who already knew some of Lin Yu's deeds from him, continued to ask Welt.

"You haven't finished yet. What exactly did Lin Yu do in that world?"

"Ah, where were we... Well, anyway, there's a phenomenon called Honkai in our world."

"Natural disasters and some man-made calamities are manifestations of this phenomenon. This phenomenon can infect ordinary people and create monsters called [Honkai Beast] through an energy called Honkai Energy."

"Unfortunately, the leader of Schicksal, the largest anti -Honkai organization on our side, for various reasons, although intending to resolve the Honkai, decided to secretly instruct his organization members to allow the Honkai before fulfilling his long-cherished wish."

"For his purposes, in the five hundred years before the Honkai phenomenon is resolved, those who are capable of perceiving the truth and those who are capable of threatening the Honkai will be secretly eliminated by him one by one."

"And what's even more regrettable is that Lin Yu... is a member of this organization."

"When he was already aware of the truth, he was powerless to deal with the crisis caused by the Honkai, given that the human traitor was shirking his responsibilities and sabotaging his teammates."

As the audience of today's story, Dan Heng, March 7th, and Xing, the three who had followed Lin Yu on a pioneering journey, exchanged a knowing glance and immediately understood their companions' thoughts.

At that moment, a thought simultaneously crossed the minds of all three of them.

He assists a foreign enemy in harming his own people, and he's even the leader of that faction...

This sounds... kind of like a Cocolia Rand, doesn't it?

Then, Xing immediately understood why Lin Yu, despite being able to capture Cocolia alive, chose to beat Cocolia to near death in Bronya.

His feelings stemmed from having been wronged by similar people in the past, which explained his attitude towards Cocolia...

Well, it seems that he's been quite nice to Cocolia.

After briefly putting herself in Lin Yu's shoes, Xing subtly felt that if it were her, seeing someone who had disgusted her for so long appear in front of her again, she felt she probably wouldn't be able to have a calm conversation with them.

"There's not much to say about what happened next. While fighting against the Honkai, Lin Yu secretly accumulated strength and united some very powerful seniors."

"Through our efforts, the man named Otto was cornered and then killed by Mr. Lin Yu himself."

"Then, a few months later, Lin Yu, who had become the leader of Schicksal, came to the 'source' of the Honkai alone and suppressed Honkai. After we prepared follow-up measures for three years, he returned to Earth and told us that everything was resolved."

Seeing Xing's displeased look, Welt sighed helplessly.

"I know this is a flimsy explanation, but that's really how it happened."

"And I must say that Lin Yu and I only gradually became familiar after he resolved the Honkai. Before that... our relationship wasn't as close as you might imagine."

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Welt recount Lin Yu's past, Xing sighed helplessly.

She had hoped to learn about Lin Yu's past through his acquaintances.

As a result, of the two acquaintances Lin Yu called over, one went to help Bronya rebuild Belobog, and the other said that he wasn't that familiar with Lin Yu back then.

As for why she didn't ask Lin Yu's Daughter and Lin Yu himself, she herself didn't know.

But now, no matter what, she has learned one thing.

Most of the time, no matter what Lin Yu said, his actions were relatively gentle.

In the past, Lin Yu was even the one who saved the world. When Xing was with other people, she didn't feel any airs of a 'superior' from Lin Yu at all.

Moreover, judging from his actions in Belobog, even someone like Cocolia, whom Lin Yu should dislike, was given multiple chances by Lin Yu.

He never hesitated to silently and secretly resolve the most dangerous tasks for those Silvermane Guards were protecting their homes and the residents of the lower city who needed assistance.

Based on Lin Yu's actions, Xing was finally certain...

— Lin Yu helping her might really have just been something he did on a whim.

The bad news is that, realistically speaking, apart from having met him a few days earlier, I'm really not special to him in any way.

The idea that "Lin Yu is taking such good care of me, does that mean he likes me?" is purely her own fantasy.

Of course, there is some good news as well.

At least she knew about these things beforehand and didn't have any overly radical fantasies, and at least she didn't embarrass herself in front of everyone on the train.

But... is this really good news, or just trying to find joy in hardship?

"Hmm, are there any new passengers?"

Listening to the chatter of the crowd, Pom-Pom, having finished her other tasks, immediately strode over to Welt's side.

Let me introduce myself.

Seeing Pom-Pom arrive, Himeko smiled and spoke to Welt.

"I am merely the navigator of the Stellaron Hunters. This is the true master of our Stellaron Hunters — Train Conductor Pom-Pom."

"That's exactly right, Pa."

Listening to Himeko's introduction, Pom-Pom spoke to Welt quite naturally.

"New passenger, what's your name, Pa?"

"... Welt Yang, that's my name now."

As he gazed at the creature before him, Welt felt a shiver rise from the depths of his soul, a shiver born of instinct.

It's important to know that during the seven years since Lin Yu returned from the moon, everyone has been focusing on cultivating Dimensional Force because they couldn't use Honkai Energy.

Therefore, although Welt no longer has the Herrscher of Reason Core, he is many times stronger than he was at his peak.

Even though he hasn't yet embarked on his destiny, he can still use all the powers of the Herrscher of Reason if Lin Yu allows it.

By combining the powers of the Herrscher of Reason with Dimensional Force, and with some of the giant robot blueprints given to him by Lin Yu, Welt could create a powerful army of super robots in a short period of time.

However, even so, Welt still felt that the creature in front of him was emanating a tremendous sense of oppression.

Moreover, he was certain that the Train Conductor named Pom-Pom was not targeting him—and that was the most terrifying thing.

As expected of the true leader of the [Star God]'s direct subordinates, he is indeed unfathomable.

The message Lin Yu sent said that even with our current strength, this universe is full of dangers...

Sure enough, this man, who could be so impeccable with others, was not lying in this regard.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Why are you sweating?"
